I’m currently planning my literacy approaches for next year and I want to have a massive focus on reading and vocabulary. Does anyone have any ‘must haves’ for their school in terms of these? I’m finding myself in a whirlwind of ideas 🤯
Pretty please?? 😀 If you are in education and you are perhaps new to Twitter, or have been here a while, please put something in your bio to say you are in Ed. Many, like me, won’t follow accounts of which we can’t be sure and we’d like to connect!! 👍😀 Plz RT!
As a head, if a member of staff asks for a bit off time to attend their child’s sports day or leavers assembly, it’s a good idea to say yes. The floodgates won’t open, and you’ll see the benefits in so many other ways.
Brilliant day with @Doug_Lemov. This was one of the highest ratio training sessions I have been in. Some takeaways for ensuring all participants fully engage in CPD: 1. Create the norms of participation and discussion at the very start of the session by getting participants…

🧵🧵Some great education resources/guides have been published (or come to my attention) recently. A thread on those that I have found most useful. 🧵🧵
I’ve seen really good schools, irrespective of how strong the systems may be, unpick themselves in 6 weeks. Schools are only as strong as the potential of their leaders & the staff that make them up.
